Be prepared to feel reallllly old.

Peter Gabriel

I loved it but I’m a big fan of his. He had a great band pulled together this run, and the new stuff was excellent. They did a wild extended Orchids and Bells Break Arms which I loved. Tim was in rare form - acting very professorial since it’s a big college town with IU (“ok who messed with my syllabus?” and “didn’t anybody do their homework? This hurts me deeply”). You could tell it was the last night of this little run. Very loose. Got to chat with everyone after the show too.

Califone. Excited to see Tim & Co, but sad that I couldn't convince @M Christine or @mountain bedto join me....

The Milk Carton Kids

The National (Homecoming night 2), with Pavement, Weyes Blood, Snail Mail, etc..

Yes! They even had some pre-press copies of it at the show (The VIP folks, of which I am not one) allegedly got a copy in their swag bags. GA in November I think? And High Violet is where I started with them so it is still my sentimental favorite... and after hearing it all live, will continue to be my overall fave. 2.5 hours / 29 songs... at a festival! Really great show.

I'm not actually a member, but Gianpaolo and I are FB friends and he cross posts to his account sometimes. That group posts pretty much always in Italian, so you're at the mercy of FB translation... often amusing for sure. But yes there are a few posts on the shows happening over there. I don't think there's an Italian @bböp tho...

This was in the "Wilco Italia" FB page and posted by Gianpaolo Elena (who may or may not be here on VC). Much easier to read...

This is a little tough to read (multiple timelines going on at once) but very interesting so far - about halfway through.

Hurray for the Riff Raff

Gone now… apparently somebody at hq reads VC !!!

About three songs (and 40 minutes?)into it I thought (in my best Roy Scheider voice) “bbop’s gonna need a bigger notepad”.

Quite a good show in a gorgeous venue! I hadn't been to the TN Theater, but it's one of those ornate grand old theaters that Wilco seems to seek out. Sound was good up front, with small PA speakers on the lip of the stage for those of us up front (always a nice touch). Lighting was good here, as the bigger stage and theater lighting really gave the crew something to work with. Nice to see the trophy going to "our friend Sarah" there in the front row. Apparently there was a school field trip of some sort of music-related education group right around sound check where a group of kids we
